I changed my name in this community twice. I was clixmoney for a long time and after the fork, I decided to change to clixy because a lot of people didn't like that I had the world money in my username. Now I'm just alive. Just a human that want to share his thoughts and don't be related to someone or something. I feel freedom that way.
As you see I still have some support for my posts and I'm sure that I will have it for a long time. Because I'm sure that some curators are supporting ideas but not only creators. So, sometimes it doesn't matter who you are, or what's your name, but the only thing that matters is the content you create ! I think that's the high level of creating content, when you create for the content and to share the idea but not only to earn something or to yourself.
So, if you are a long term creator, just keep creating and your content will be noticed sooner or later and it will find its consumers for sure !
